Two Fish Divers Lembeh Dive Resort

I recently spent 5 nights at Two Fish in Lembeh. It was mostly a terrific experience, with just a couple of areas for improvement. Pros: - Plenty of food. I get very hungry when diving but there seemed to be a bottomless supply of food. - Great guides. I was with Selin, who was amazing at finding all sorts of critters, no matter how small or how well hidden. He helped find many of the creatures I wanted to see and was very patient about waiting for when I was ready to move on. - Nice variety of dive sites. Lots of muck diving with some occasional visits to coral sites and mini walls to mix things up. - Relaxing. It's tucked well away from the road so you don't have noisy scooters going past constantly. There is a nice undercover area looking over the water with sun lounges and hammocks. - Virtually no currents aside from one dive site we visited. Cons: - Not the most beginner-friendly. I had only dived in 2 places prior to this so am still quite a beginner. I felt they assumed their divers were experienced and I found them a bit "hands off". - They advertised dive computers to rent but when I asked for the first day they said they were all broken. To their credit, they did organise the purchase of a new one in time for my second day. - I was told I couldn't do a night dive as I was only Open Water, even though I have done them previously and told them this. - Pre-dive briefings were minimal and the English level of the guides wasn't the best. Overall I'd still give the place a big tick and would happily stay there again.

I submitted an enquiry on the website and within a few hours, I got in touch with Ola who was extremely helpful and responsive in helping me make the necessary bookings for the trip. The price list for accommodation, diving and extras were all presented up front so you knew what you were paying for. You only have to pay a small deposit upfront and given the flexibility to decide how may dives you intend to do when you are on Lembeh itself. Resort: The resort is located right in front of the beach facing the mainland. Common areas include a bar area where beer and soft drinks are sold, an outdoor lounge and a dining area for consumption of meals. I stayed in the standard room and paid extra for the A/C supplement. Although the weather was not hot by any means, the A/C does keep the mosquitoes out which may become more active at dusk. The rooms come equipped with fresh water dispensers, shelves for storing personal belongings and a spacious ensuite bathroom with hot showers, making for a very comfortable stay. The bathrooms are also equipped with shampoo and soap. Bath towels are changed every couple of days and there is daily housekeeping. High-speed internet is available in the rooms (connection speeds may fluctuate albeit infrequently). Meals are all served at the dining area, with breakfast per order while lunch and dinner are served buffet style. The food is delicious with good variety such that I never had repeated dishes throughout my 1 week stay. Mealtimes provide the perfect opportunity to interact with other guests and possibly make new like-minded friends! Fresh drinking water is readily available all throughout the resort, just prepare a reusable water bottle before you arrive! Diving: A typical day looks like this: 7am: breakfast, 7.45am: 2 morning dives, 1pm: lunch, 2.30pm: 1 afternoon dive, 5.30pm: night dive, 7pm+: dinner. Dives are conducted from a decently big boat (with a marine toilet), with dive sites all in the Lembeh straits right in front of the resort. The furthest site is only about 15-20min away. Even though Lembeh is known as the muck diving capital of the world, there are actually still some beautiful coral gardens at various sites. There is virtually zero current for 95% of the dives I did so Lembeh is truly the perfect place to pick up diving or to work on one's buoyancy. Visibility is also surprisingly good, ranging from about 5-12m. The equipment provided by Two Fish are also well maintained and in good condition. However, one disclaimer is that I was slightly disappointed by the diving here. The density of critters was nothing like what many people online tend to proclaim and there were a couple of dives where we were finning for long periods without seeing anything special. Perhaps I may have came too early in the season so I definitely have to come back at a different time to verify my claim. Despite this, there is no shortage of nudibranch, ghost pipefish, seahorses, frogfish e.t.c to be seen during the dives, though rarer critters may require some luck 😜. Service: The outstanding service at Two Fish made up for the shortcomings of the diving. From the administrative staff to kitchen staff, everyone played a role in running the resort smoothly and tending to all requests promptly. A special shoutout to the dive crew who displayed high levels of professionalism in making sure the boat set off on time and managing of diving equipment. I dove with CL who is truly a master of spotting all the tiny stuff! I was really heartened seeing him try his best to help me look for all the critters I had on my 'to-see' list. Overall, I had an extremely pleasant experience and loved every moment I spent here. The wonderful staff and resort grounds made for an idyllic retreat away from the bustling city life. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to visit Lembeh without wanting to break the bank. I will be back again in the future!

Beautiful muck dives. I was here on a cruise stop and made a dive trip for the day. It included transport from the dock to the dive resort. They sent a driver to pick us up at the port and we took a ferry ride to the resort. Everyone was friendly and it includes lunch. I had a Indonesian beer after my dives. They had warm showers and chairs to relax in. I would definitely use Two Fish if I return to this port.
